Right on, man! This show was full of gorgeous gals, like Diana, Lydia, Pamela and Julie with all their lovely 80's hairstyles and glamour. The ladies on TV and in real life were so fine then. Now it's a freak show! Yeah, I have the same idea in mind when describing today's "women" and "fashion" It's a People of Walmart world out there indeed. Gag!
Good thing they managed to pull off only the first mask, as otherwise: "We're not human!" "Yes you are!" *pull off both layers of mask at the same time* "Oops!"
Julie and Diana were two of the hottest women on tv in the early 80s. I too had good taste as a 1980s kid. Loved this show. The remake was crap but did have Deadpool's girlfriend in it as the Diana role. Poor comparison.
Me too,it didn't make sense and still doesn't till this day. It collasally carried on the drama, action and suspense that the 1st 2 miniseries started and it got better and better and better!!! But im just thankful for the ones they made,i still watch'em and enjoy them!!!
That actor with the gun is Khan's second in command from Star Trek 2 the Wrath of Khan. And Khan said the same thing to Kirk - Don't insult my intelligence.
Judson Scott showed up in a few sci-fi franchises in the 80's; I was happy to see him guest star in Star Trek TNG ( as an interplanetary drug dealer ) and Voyager ( as a Romulan commander of the hijacked Prometheus starship).
I like his character in Wrath of Khan. Just bugged me after Khan said, "Joachim I shall avenge you!" and went in for a hug he closed his eyes after he died with them open. The actor was probably afraid that his eyes would have been poke out by Khan's wardrobe.
I was completely obsessed with this show in elementary school. Looking back, I'm thinking if the visitors society was at the point where they had to make a colossal investment of resources in the form of 50 motherships, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, personnel, technicians, etc., fly a huge distance from home, abduct people and take water the society must be in a pretty perilous state to resort to such extreme measures. And it has me wondering if this solution would in fact be permanent or just a stop-gap. I can't recall if this was mentioned on TV but the book stated that not only were they bringing people back for food, they were going to be bred like livestock to have a constant supply and also the plan was to have many men serve as soldiers, as cannon fodder.
Their planet was attacked by Kzzizk in retaliation for destroying their homeworld. They used antimatter bomb completely destroying 1/3 of the planet surface. Most of the visitors fleet during war with Oolot and Veern were small ships. It was during this war Diana got to prominence in Leader eyes
@@conatcha I'm no expert, but it sounds like a Mid-Atlantic accent. Think of Frasier or Sheldon Cooper.. not quite as distinct as British English, but not as loose as what we would consider American English.
@@eugenewalker7589 my friend see you is for Florida but she no longer has an American accent anymore. That's because when she did the Mission Impossible TV series she never came back to United States the reason why was because she met some handsome blond stockbroker who put the pipe to a real good and told her throw that passport into the ocean I'm going to take care of you for the rest of your life and that's exactly what he did and she all those years in Australia being a married wife until the producers at the rebooted B series called her and asked her what she like the star in the new reboot series she thought about it talk it over with her family and her Australian husband and they told her to pack her bags because they going to shoot the series in Canada oh, so when she was at the Vancouver Comic-Con somebody asked her what's wrong with her accent and she explain why she has an Australian accent because she been gone so long for my country she lost the ability to speak American Style LOL
Cheesy, but still great. Have the mini series on DVD. Biggest mistake was making this into a weekly adventure series. Lost that spark that made the original series memorable. Plus, a lot of the original cast members left: Ham Tyler and Chris leaving was the nail in the coffin. Oh, and killing Elias was a controversial move as well.
What happened with Ham Tyler and chris? I don't recall. And I totally agree, when they killed Elias I was sickened and sad. Him and Julie were the original resistance members!
Holy crap, Jane Badler and Faye Grant on a blockbuster show with awesome badass aliens. As a kid watching this, my mind went straight to total fantasy land. To say Lucy and Susie Q had a workout would be an understatement lol.
Julia was the perfect leader for the resistance and her relationship with the lone wolf Mike donavon was uniquely special, clashing with him over the truth about his son and other decisions while growing affectionate for one another .a power couple for the resistance movement.
They explained that in-universe as persistent and prolonged exposure to Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere on Sirius is supposed to be far more polluted, to the point where their throats adapted to it. It was sudden exposure to Earth's atmosphere that resulted in vocal reverberation, which eventually corrected itself.
Alot of things change due to a smaller budget. Cheaper sets, recycled FX clips from the original, got rid of the more expensive original cast. Couldn't even afford the audio FX to create the modulated vistor voices.
I LOVED the miniseries so much. But the series that followed was ludicrous, and I make a point of not watching it now. The idea that you could wear a Visitor mask, and then a human mask ON TOP, and it be seamless. Ridiculous. Things like this took away all the stakes and believability of the show.
i remember seeing this scene when it first aired and was like CRAP the V can now look like the good guys - then learned it was really them with 2 masks on. i loved this series still watch the 2 movies at least once a year
Why does this look so much better and more serious than the remake like seriously how did this Diana get beat by the snotty brat called ana in the newer version lol

Yes the first was definitely the best due to all the suspension. In the next it was too much guns blazing and executions. The third...let's not go there.

How did this fool Diana? They could be wearing masks that look like Julie and Donovan's faces, but why would they also have Julie and Donovan's voices? (At this point in the story she spent a fair amount of time with Donovan and should be able to recognize it.)
In the mini-series, it was stated that various visitors were trained to deal with various societies and learned all of the various languages and cultural backgrounds on Earth. Clearly they trained for different places.
@@neildennis7294 you're right.

I remember reading years ago that they had to change things such as the reverb voices to cut costs for a weekly tv series to keep things within a fixed budget.
It cost like a million dollars per episode, which was nearly unheard of at the time, so a lot of corners were cut, such as the voice reverb and reusing certain shots and scenes.
A lot of jumping going on in the future. That's why the jump suit became so popular. Then it was discovered that aliens also prefer the jump suit. It was our similarities that finally brought peace... that and our wardrobe choices.
Another question, I don't know if it's already been asked. If they were given reptilian masks to wear AND exact duplicate masks of their OWN faces, why didn't whoever created them just create different human faces for them to wear? [Repeat to myself it's just a show I should really just relax] [Repeat to myself it's just a show I should really just relax] [Repeat to myself it's just a show I should really just relax] 😆
So we can see the actors, of course, and they pobably didn't have the budget to make lizard face prosthetics articulate enough to act through. Do we want to see Jane Badler doing a lizard version of Kim Hunter in Planet of the Apes? (Okay maybe I would want to see that.) An in-universe reason is because even with the secret revealed, the Visitors can more effectively control humans using the humanoid identities they've established and conditioned themselves to exist in. They practice advanced brainwashing and propaganda techniques and probably still have a substantial percentage of humanity gaslit to believe resistance terrorists and evil scientists faked the lizard effects.
I am still in love with Jane Badler after all these years. God was she amazing.
She still is
She was the most gorgeous lizard on TV. Jane was my 80's reptilian fantasy.

Wouldn't Diana just talk to them in the Lizards' native language in order to find out if they are really human?
Or easily smell Human all over them.
These lizards are indoctrinated with English as the first language since young, she might have forgotten her mother tongue language.
